Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers proposed that rich countries export their protesters to poor countries, since developing nations are woefully underprotested." He points to China, which had to pretend that a handful of religious oddballs pose a political threat, and to Haiti, whose protesting ranks were thinned considerably in the early '90s. Summers was delighted to announce Friday that China and Haiti have agreed to remove tariffs on a range of rabble-rousing products, from outside agitators to union organizers. Within the next few days, 20,000 will be packed onto freighters docked in Seattle; they should arrive in their new homelands in time for the holidays. "The key to cementing the deal was the cultural sensitivity of the Clinton administration," Summers said. "We want the American dissidents to fit in, so we insisted that the host governments show them the same courtesies they show local dissidents."
